Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The failure Of the
bill repeaing the presumption and timber cul-
ture laws was ono Of the most radical dig
agreements Of the two houses Of the last
congress. The senate conferees were Dolph,
Teller and Cockrell, the house conferees Cobb,
Stone (Mo.), and Payson. In the correspond
ence now published the reasons Of Disagree
ment are thus stated by the house referees:
FirBt-The bill as 1t passed the house repealed
the desert land act; that the senate struck out,
and il lieu thereof inserted certain amend
ments to that act. Second-The bill as it passed
vate cash entry, and reserved them exclusively
for homesteads. The tenth section Of the SEN
ate amendment leaves such lands, amounting
to millions of acres, still subject to cash entries
BY any one individual and In unestimated
quantities. Third-The seventh section of the
OF the public lands, to be known as mountain
Gus lands, and pfoyides for the entry Of 800
acres by single person, and that is opposed
by the house. The house conferees 60 on to
say that after considering the senate PROPOSE
tton with great care, desiring with the utmost
escape conviction that such an enactment
would result In legalizing the frauds on the
public domain which have been committed on
90 vast scale, and would imperil the most
important Interest of the people. As COM
promise they submitted the following propo-
sition:
We faver the repeal Of the desert land act.
We will give that up, aud agree to the senate
amendment instead, az TO offered lands we ask
tile senate to concur in the house view that these
lands be withdrawn from private cash entry.
We agree to amend the existing law wherever
amendment 10 necessary, SO as to authorize any
claimant whose entry has been Cancelled or
who has been denied patent, to 60 into the
United States district or circuit court in the
district within which the land lies, and insti-
tute In his own name proceeding against the
ance Of bis patent or to enforce any right
growing out Of the premises, and To provide
for the service of writs and notaries for making
defences against such proceedings, etc.
This proposition was declined by the senate.

The Rreeda Not 4Ynrli1.e,

DEVILS LAKE, March 9.-The mail stage
driver reached here tonight direct from St.
Johns. He says the sheriff Of Rollett county
was needlessly alarmed in asking the govern
ment for the Intervention Of troops, and that
the half breeds are not armed. A private let
ter from St. Johns confirms the earlier reports
that the breeds were armed and ugly. The
Catholic priest from st. Johns says the breeds
are very ignorant, but will pay taxes.

Editor Hope PIoneer
As your Riverside '.kicker'' attempted to
briefly state ''what is the trouble at Riverside"
would like to say to Mr.. Kicker that when he
makes such personal statements In 4 news-
paper think he should try and keep truth on
other 'kckers," seems to object to the school
board meeting at ''the clerks house." It has
been thrown In my face several times that this
was the first time the board had ever met At
my slanty. Now, just because am Of an ac-
commodating disposition and been willing to
meet the board at their several homes hereto
fore, you will find BY consulting the school
law that it requires the board to meet at the
office of the clerk, and, Mr.. "Kicker," IL you
have any official business to do with the clerk
you may expect to 60 to his Office to do II bore
after. You say, ''but we are able to inform
the people Of Steele county that we hays
knocked that contract into cooked hat"
Now, why don't you state the facts. You
"kickers'' held an Indignation meeting (after
you knew that had written TO Mr.. Winchell
and asked for advlce), and you appointed two
"kickers' to go 10 6herbrooke and see il you
could not break the contract and when they
came home they said 'the contract was all
right and you couldn't do anything about IT."
Mr. Kimbal and found out that the contract
was null and void, and when we received the
letter from. Superintendent Winchell 1t con-
frmed our ideas, smashed the contract finsr
that a barn, and gave all of US more light on
muddled subject, and you had nothing to do
with knocking the contract into cooked
hat" Alter you had studied the school laws,
in connection with Superintendent Winchelps
letter, you are, like the school board, better
posted. don't blame ''Sylviei' for thinking
you ''kickers" wanted our school clerk '.cre-
mated by electricity" you have certainly shown
that disposition. You say ''if we could got
him married he would not be 30 unssttled.n
/ think your hair will be grayer than mine il
before you see ''him married." You say sff
we could interview his little mules they prvba-
bly, could tell of some lonely drives after dark.
Yes, Mr.. 'Kicker," think remember before
you sold your oxen that 1t was long way after
dark before you brought them homo three Or

The meeting of the Hope Literary societ

We devote considerable space In this issue
to communications on the Riverside school

interest, we must consider the matter closed 50
